That has mattered: over the past 2.7 years, funds with this little specialist backing trailed top-rung funds by about 3.8% per quarter and beat the S&P in only 22% of fund-quarters. If it also charges an active fee, the higher-graded alternatives deserve a look.

The grade scores this fund's specialist share, the slice that overlaps what the top 1% of proven funds are building. We ignore index ballast and names outside our edge on purpose: that slice is small, and it's what decides the outcome.

The read · what to do with it

Nomura Mid Cap Growth Y earns a C grade, ranking 249 of 500, with specialist ownership at a thin 5.1%. About 30% of the portfolio sits in late-stage or fading positions, including MPWR and HWM where specialists are actively leaving. Bright spots are NET and PWR, where the fund is genuinely early, but higher-graded peers in this segment exist.

→ Watch the combined 8.3% weight in MPWR, HWM, and SPXC closely, as specialists are fading from all three.

→ Compare this fund against the three higher-graded mid cap growth peers and the higher-graded Nomura family options before holding further.
